I leaned against the door frame, taking her in. “Hey, pretty lady. How’s it going?”

Her head popped up, and she laughed. “Is that your pickup line? Because if that’s the case, you need to work on it. You’ll never get a girl with a line like that.”

I hummed as I stalked closer to her. “I don’t need lines. See, I got the girl that I wanted without one and I don’t plan to ever let her go. So lame or not, I think I’m good.”

“That you are Mr. Pierce. I do have to say if you had tried using something lame like that on me, it wouldn’t have worked for you. In fact, it might have hindered your chances even more.”

Placing my hand over my heart, I gasped at her in mock horror. “You wound me with your words.”

“Doubtful. You’re pretty cocky.” She looked back down at her phone screen.

I palmed said cock and wiggled my eyebrows at her. “You know how cocky I really am. Do I live up to the hype?”

“You more than live up to it. That’s why I’ve been spreading rumors of your small dick at every show, so the women will stay away from you.” She rolled her lips to keep from laughing.

Tilting my head back, I laughed, knowing she was fucking with me. I knew Pen didn’t like even the thought of seeing women hitting on me, but I knew she’d never stoop so low as to put down my dick.

Pen looked in the direction of where I’d left the guys and held her hand out for me. In one stride, I had her smooth hand in mind. “Are you happy?”

“I can count the number of times I’ve been happier on one hand, so yeah,” I answered her, kissing her.

“And what times would those be?” She asked breathily.

“The night you touched yourself in my room, the first time you let me inside your slick heat, the day we signed our contract, and the day you took me back. Well, that day is numero uno. At least for now.”

“You think there will be others that trump today?” Pen pulled me closer until I was standing between her legs. Her hands ran up the outside of my thighs before her fingers hooked into the loops on my jeans.

“Oh, I know there will, and they’ll all involve you,” I confessed. I was picturing the day I asked her to marry me, and the day we got married, the world knew she was mine.

“Do you plan to keep me around after you’re big and famous?”

“My sweet, sweet Penny. I’m going to keep you around for as long as I live. You just wait and see.” I leaned down and nipped her bottom lip. “Pen, I l— “

“Yo, get your ass out here, man,” Cross shouted.

Pen let out a shakily laugh. “Until later. Let’s go. I want to talk to you all about what we can do tonight.”

I pulled her up and pressed my body into her letting her feel how much I wanted her. “As long as I can be with you, I don’t care what we do.”

“Well,” she laughed. “I have a feeling the rest of the guys won’t feel the same way.”

“That’s because they’re a bunch of assholes.” I nipped at her bottom lip and then sucked on it before pulling away, knowing that at any moment, we would be interrupted if we didn’t get out there.

“That’s not true. They’re just not sleeping with me.”

“And that’s a damn good thing. Otherwise, I’d have to kill them. Hell, I fantasize about it every time I see them look at you with anything not akin to how they’d look at their sister.”

“Alright, Mr. Alpha. Cool your jets.” Lifting up on her toes, Pen placed the softest of kisses on my desperate lips. “Congratulations, Walker. I’m so happy for you.”

Fuck, I was done for. Pen was made for me. Here she was getting us an international tour and congratulating us when it should have been the other way around.

“Alright, boys,” Pen said as she made her way through the curtain. “Unfortunately, our next city is eight hours away. We were planning on heading there right away, but I think you need a night to celebrate. So, what do you say we stay here tonight? You can go out, and I’ll try to find a hotel with a vacancy big enough for the staff.”

“I think this is why we love you. You’re the fucking best, Pen.” Kenton rushed her and hugged Pen to his tall frame.

“Ah, you’re going to make me cry. I’m just doing my job.” She patted Kenton on the back.

“Yeah, that may be so, but you’re going above and beyond because you care. If we had Cristiano as our manager, he’d have us on the road wishing we had someone to suck our dicks.”
